From the kitchen of Stephanie Knewasser. Red
Velvet Cookies are a perfect addition to a
Christmas cookie tray. Red velvet cake is
traditionally topped with cream cheese frosting, but
I want a cookie that doesn't need refrigeration, so I
use cookie frosting.

grease the pan, or maybe they won't stick... I don't
know.
